Shellyann’s I-M-POSSIBLE Project!

Almost three years ago Shellyann was given a UNIQUE opportunity to see and explore our magical world with her heart rather than just her naked eyes. She is now giving hugs rather than just handshakes.

See what happened was almost three years ago while working in a lab Shellyann, was severely burnt on her face, neck, chest, arms and hands. As a result her vision became impaired and lost the use of both of her hands.

Through Shellyann’s journey she has learnt to soar above all odds by doing things that might seem to be impossible with the naked eyes. One of her latest project was painting pictures that symbolize LOVE. Shellyann believes when we work with love we break down barriers that cannot be broken down otherwise.

The following are some of the lessons Shellyann has learnt while painting her pictures;

 Each day you are given a blank canvas and it is up to you to decide how you are going to paint your picture.

 In order to accomplish your dreams you have to take the first step towards achieving your goals.

In Shellyann’s case it was putting her paintbrush on the canvas.

 Follow your heart. Do what feels right. Be willing to take chances despite what’s against you.

Shellyann’s painting may not have the perfect lines but she took a chance and painted from her heart.

 Fill your day with things that brings you joy.

Shellyann’s painting was filled with colors.

 Be proud of your work.

Shellyann was celebrating after each of her paintings because she knew that she gave it her all and was very proud of herself for taking RISKS!

 Be Grateful. At the end of the day have gratitude for all the abundant blessings you have in your life.

Shellyann was very grateful for having the support of her loved ones cheering her on as she did what many might think would be impossible.

Even the visually impaired CAN paint pictures!!!

This is my journey of Soaring Above All Odds! (No sugar coating)

Almost three years ago I was given a unique opportunity to see and explore our magical world with my heart rather than just my naked eyes and I’m giving hugs rather than just handshakes.

See what happened was almost three years ago while working in a lab I was severely burnt on my face, neck, chest, arms and hands. As a result my vision became impaired and I lost the use of both of my hands.

At first my vision was blurry then gradually over the next few weeks and months my vision began to deteriorate. Just imagine waking up every morning seeing less and less. It was a scary journey. But with the help of family and friends they made sure that I lived my life as normal by making me do things that I did not taught was possible at the time. I went to shows, shopping, restaurant and lakes. Believe it or not, I even went to the movies with my loved ones narrating the entire movie (Slumdog millionaire and Madagascar 2). Having the support of family and friends made my transition from seeing everything to being in complete darkness much easier and safer.

Approximately three months after my accident I woke up one morning and was not able to see anything. The day that I have long dreaded now became a reality. I remembered waking up with a sense of fear and sadness not knowing what my future holds. At that moment I had to stop myself and think back of the twenty-four wonderful years that I was blessed to see our beautiful world. From that day onwards I made a conscious decision to live everyday to fullest regardless of my physical limitations.

Every day I am faced with new and unique challenges but I have not allowed them to keep me back from accomplishing my dreams and goals.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. We are given challenges because we are equipped with strength, faith, belief, love, compassion and forgiveness to overcome every obstacle that comes our way.

I have not allowed myself to be defined by my disability but rather using my “unique” ability of instilling LOVE and COMPASSION in our world.

My dear friend, we all face unique challenges but I am here to tell you that no matter what you are facing right now, just remember “this too shall pass”.

You are put on this planet because you have a purpose to fulfill. You are given challenges to reach new heights. You are given friends to lift up your spirit and you are given unconditional love to overcome every obstacle that comes your way.

You can and will Soar Above All Odds.

Wishing you a beautiful and blessed day.

Thank you for being apart of my journey of soaring above all odds.

I love and appreciate you!

Sending you lots of love and hugs,

Shelly

Welcome to Day 21 of creating a positive shift in your life!

Day 21: Maintaining a Positive Attitude!

CONGRATULATIONS FOR MAKING TO DAY 21!!!! WOO HOO!!!! I am very proud of you for taking this leap of faith to create a positive shift in your life. WAY TO GO!!! You Deserve It!!!

Some days there will be difficult to maintain a positive attitude. For example if you heard that your loved one is ill, losing a your job or even the death of a loved one these events brings feelings of hurt, sadness , disappointment, anger, frustration and so on. You have to allow yourself to feel those emotions in order to heal. The Key to staying positive is the time period you take to bounce back up once you have allowed yourselves to go through the healing process.

Do not allow the pressures of life to push you down. Your life is not based on your circumstances but it is based on your choices. Make a decision to enjoy this day right now for ALL that it is because if you don’t there will always be something to keep you from being happy. Celebrate today and enjoy the simple things!

No matter what you circumstances are right now I know there is something for you to be happy about. Be happy on purpose. Today you are given another day to explore this magical world and receive all of the abundant blessings. Do not give away your joy. Just be happy where you are right now. Enjoy Life!

Do not wait for something to change in order to be happy. Make a conscious decision NOW to be happy despite your current situation. Declare that today you are going to have a great day no matter what.

The things that you fear the most will give you the greatest accomplishments once completed. Step out of your comfort zone, take chances and be unique. Do not die with your music still playing inside of you. Quit finding the flaws and start looking for the blessings.

If you were given six months to live what would you differently than you are doing now? You are not guaranteed tomorrow so make the most out of today. Stop complaining about what’s wrong and start finding a solution to what’s right. No one can help you unless you are willing to help yourself. You are a WARRIOR and you can fight any battle that comes your way.

The more authentic you are the greater connections you will have with yourself and others. Be true to yourself. Utilize your time on this planet to be all that God created you to be. You can choose to make your vacation here on earth a happy experience or a miserable one. The choice is yours! Make the most out of all the opportunities that comes your way.

You become what you believe. Program your mind for victory. Just be confident in YOU! Love and accept you for all that you are. Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes. Forgive yourself and move forward. You already have everything you need to fulfill your destiny. Now it is up to you to believe in yourself and your dreams.

This present moment here and now is all that matters. Within this moment there is abundance of pure love and potential. Feel worthy of receiving all of the blessings that surrounds you. You are apart of this universe and not just a fragment. You are greater than you think. Believe you have the power within you to accomplish great things.

Do not live another day defeated. Declare that today is going to be a great day no matter what your circumstances are right now. Rise up to all that you are meant to be. This is your time to shine. As this beautiful gift of TODAY unfolds receive all of the abundant blessings that are directed your way. Have an attitude of gratitude.

Our body is a vehicle that houses our true being. Throughout the years we get caught up perfecting our outer beauty and many times we neglect to take care of our inner beauty. Our inner beauty is the unconditional love and compassion we have for ourselves and others. It is the part of us that connects us with our source (God, the universe) and the world we live in. You are a POWERFUL being!

We have to truly love, honor and accept ourselves before we can love, honor and respect others. Embrace this world for all that it is. Look for the good in every situation. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow so go out there and make the best out of this day. Live each day as if it is your last day so when it is your last it will be your best day.

Today’s mission!!!

Do things throughout the day to make you feel good.
Before going to bed tonight write down 10 things that you are grateful for.

Affirmations:

What are affirmations?

Affirmations are short positive statements that are repeated daily to create an imprint into your subconscious mind. This mechanism creates a shift in your subconscious mind to welcome positive thinking about yourself. As you read each statement take a few seconds and reflect on each of the statement.

I am grateful for what I have
I accept myself totally and unconditionally
I am 100% responsible for my life
I focus on what I appreciate in others
I can!
I am loving and caring
I see beauty in everything
I am the only person in charge of my happiness and bliss
I am patient
The more I give love, the more I receive love
I live in a universe of abundance
I am detached from the outcome
I persist in the directions of my dreams
I compare my progress only to myself
I take things one day at a time
I can change my life by changing my thoughts
I live my life the way I want to
I forgive and move on
I become what I think about, so I only think of good thoughts
I only have thoughts that empower me
I am decisive
My mind is focused on what I desire
Today I choose to be the best I can be at everything I do

On this journey we call, “life” some enter this world for a few minutes, others a few days and for many a few years but no matter how long your duration is on this planet make every moment count. You are only here for a short vacation so make the most of out of each day that you are blessed to be on this planet. The Art of Living is Giving & Appreciating.

God created you because you have a purpose to fulfill. You have a right to be here because YOU BELONG! No one can be a better you than YOU! People will behave how they perceive you to be. So got out there with you shoulders back and head held high and be the best you can be. You are a phenomenal being; feel it, know it and most of all believe it!

Wishing you a beautiful day filled with God’s abundant blessings.

I love and appreciate you!

Remember to SMILE!

When you are going through a difficult time instead of feeling sorry for yourself and attracting more negative energy around you contribute to a cause greater than yourself. I guarantee you that your spirit will be uplifted and you will be in a better mood. Helping others gives you a sense of purpose, belonging, love and gratitude

At the beginning of this year I made it my mission to help others EVERY DAY for one full year. It has been only nine months since I started on this journey but this year so far has been one of the most fulfilling years of my life.

No matter how bad your situation is right now know that someone out there has a greater problem than you do. Help others without expecting anything in return.

Why should you help others?

You will get….

Gratification knowing that you are making a difference in another person’s life
A sense of knowing that you have contributed to a great cause.

Helping others is also good for health, increases your longevity and is good for your business.

WARNING! The information in this article will transform your life, ONLY if you are willing to do the work.

These are the secrets to that the millionaires have mastered!

In order for you to get the best results in every aspect of your life you must begin by conditioning your mind.
Make a conscious decision in your mind that you are getting what it is you want.
Spend a few minutes everyday visualizing what it is you want.
See yourself actually having what it is you desire and feel the emotions you get when already manifesting what it is you want. “Seeing is believing.”
Do something everyday to get you closer to what it is you desire.
You have to take action.
You don’t have to be a master of what it is you want to create all you have to do is just start.
Keep learning and moving forward.
Do small things that can give you immediate breakthroughs.
Do whatever it takes in a positive way to where you want to be.
Follow through with success.
Recognize what is possible.
Be more afraid of missing out that you can do something rather than holding you back from accomplishing great things.
Do what you love.
Know why it is important to you to have what it is you desire.
Get around people who are hungry to learn.
Have daily rituals to gain momentum.
Spend time with those that you desire to be like.
Learn from them.
Know their story and learn what they did to get where they are.
Get yourself certainty that you will reach your full potential.

Remember you have to do the work in order to achieve the results.
(Be certain that you will achieve your goals, visualize your goals as if you already have it, take action towards your goals, but most of all trust that you have done everything in your power to achieve your goal.)
